About the Intervention

The document discusses four reading interventions: Corrective Reading, Failure Free Reading, Spell Read Phonological Auditory Training (P.A.T.), and Wilson Reading System, Third Edition. Corrective Reading is a program that uses scripted lessons to improve the efficiency of instruction and maximize opportunities for students to respond and receive feedback. Failure Free Reading is a computer-based program that uses a combination of computer-based lessons, workbook exercises, and teacher-led instruction to teach sight vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Spell Read P.A.T. is a program that provides systematic and explicit fluency-oriented instruction in phonemic awareness and phonics, along with everyday experiences in reading and writing for meaning. Wilson Reading System, Third Edition is a program that uses direct, multi-sensory, structured teaching based on the Orton-Gillingham methodology to teach sounds to automaticity, present the structure of language in a systematic, cumulative manner, and teach and reinforce concepts with visual-auditory-kinesthetic
